I'm kind of busy today so I'll make it quick. Nice trade, Ed. No, I actually mean it. I give it an A-. Ugie nicely fills our biggest hole, Utley will be playing full time, and we got a bench player to replace Polanco. Now, if Ed had managed to get a bench player who could hit, the deal would be an A+, but we can't always get what we want. Ramon Martinez will suffice for now, unless one of our starters gets hurt. But that's what Ryan Howard is for.
Great 2-0 win last night, as well. I had a feeling Tejeda would be good, but five shutout innings blew away all expectations. As with most Wednesdays, I missed the bulk of this game. It doesn't look like much happened. I see Madson and Wags threw another three innings. Hope you got a good night sleep at Abreu's house last night, Ugie.
We're now in second all alone after losses by New York and Atlanta. Padilla takes on Astacio tonight as we go for the sweep. Look for the Rangers bats to awaken. This could be a 10-9 game. Come on Oakland, show some professionalism and beat the Nationals!
